with my books and stop troubling yourself further. Books can be obtained from the arsenal (after inspection).

I am very much afraid that I am causing you too much trouble. Please, do not strain yourself excessively—especially regarding the delivery of books according to the list: all that can wait, and for now I have quite enough books.

Your V. Ulyanov

From the linen I would ask you to add pillowcases and towels.

I am rereading Shelgunov with interest and am occupied with Tugan-Baranovsky: he has a solid investigation, but the schemas, for instance, at the end are so vague that, to be honest, I do not understand them; I shall have to obtain Vol. II of *Capital*.
